dark lighthearted reflective sad

3.0

I don't quite know how I feel about this collection of poems. When I read the two previous collections in this series I also felt kind of meh about them so I'm wondering if Amanda and I are just not connecting anymore as reader and writer. I know I'm not the only reviewer feeling this way but hopefully I can see some new and fresh content in the future from them.

challenging dark emotional reflective sad tense fast-paced

5.0

Stunning book of poems. Very relatable and in the free form style I like. Found several of them to be exactly what I needed to hear.

fast-paced

1.75

Got an eArc from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This didn't connect to me as much as Shine your Icy Crown. Again, relating to my review of the first book of the series, this is more like a post from social media instead of a poem that has depth. The second book has the same element but I enjoyed and related to it which is why I let go of that reason. But in this 3rd book, I can't seem to enjoy the writing of the author. I'm giving this 1.75 stars because the author never fails to know the importance of trigger warnings and the narration of her own book is great.

TW: Eating Disorders, Mental Illness, Self-harm, Sexism, Queerphobia, Death, Grief, Trauma and more.

 Thank you to Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Audio for an ALC of this book.
 
Another amazing self-love poetry/fairy tale retelling narrated by the author.

Lovelace did it again. I absolutely loved all three of these books and am so glad this collection exists in the world. It has so many great lessons and is written so beautifully. Also these books are all supremely quotable! I feel like I could flip to a random page and point and I'd find a quote I love. This was amazing and I can't wait to have a physical copy.
